Please tell me it's finally possible?

You can put it in another PS3 of the same or lower firmware.

Are you sure? I've tried to put it in a PS3 with the same Firmware at the time but it asked me to format...

I've been able to do it before. The last time I tried I had to format but I the 2 consoles I had before where both on 4.46 rebug and swapt hard drive all the time. Sold one of them n tried with another recently it wouldn't work, could be due to different model # IDK.

What? He isn't trying to format his hard drive he is trying to extract files from it.

It is impossible as far as i know and putting it in any other ps3 will result in you loosing everything off it.

Did you not read what I posted? I was able to do this successfully before when I had different PS3's but this time it makes me format now that 1 of the PS3's is different. Idk what made those 2 able to swap hard drives just fine but they did with no problem.

I have never heard heard of that happening before , one of things that i will believe it when i see it.
